| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the 2006 condition of the Newquay Football Club pitch in Newquay, United Kingdom. States that "winter pitch preparations and renovations, which began in the spring, didn't go strictly according to plan thanks to the unusually dry summer" and discusses compaction at the pitch. Describes how the club's pitch hadn't been renovated or reseeded for many years. Details history of the club and states that the pitch was rebuilt in 1951. States that there is more work to be done on the pitch and that "money is tight at the club." Concludes that equipment "should ensure that compaction - and Newquay's pitch nightmare - is consigned to history." |
